Antimask = antivax lite. Masks may not be perfect, but they give you some basic level of protection, and most importantly they protect others from you if you're a carrier (knowingly or not). Wear masks if you have them.

Widespread mask-wearing would slash the R0 of the virus (as seen in dense Asian cities) by making it far less likely for asymptomatic carriers to infect others.

"But by wearing masks we will create a shortage!" The antimask propaganda was at its peak a month before the epidemic got serious in the US, back when we should have ramped up mask production and encouraged everyone to wear them. The shortage is in part caused by this movement.

2/2 As much as the Czechs are prone to populism and anti-something waves, this time everybody thinks masks are a good idea and the epidemic has not yet exploded. It's hard to do anything if you have a president that spreads fake info though. Stay strong

Impossible to ramp up production of something you don't make. Steve Bowen, last US mask manufacturer spoke about the problems here: https://www.mpo-mag.com/issues/2020-03-01/view_columns/a-valuable-supply-chain-lesson-courtesy-of-coronavirus/ …
